It is possible to use web based note taking tools such as simplenote/Evernote to store and sort ideas, while stash your readings to read-it-later type services. I also find services such as citeulike very useful to tackle online articles and PDFs. The framework you proposed is a reasonable and nice one.Arin Basuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11408464606871981388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-15054406887404073862009-07-30T10:07:09.468-04:002009-07-30T10:07:09.468-04:00Hi Jonathan,

I also prefer to only use my Reader for feeds where I want to read (nearly) everything published from a given source. If I only want to browse an occasional article, I&#39;d rather just put it somewhere on my Google homepage (usually under an organized tab) so I don&#39;t get information overloaded with a bunch of info I don&#39;t really care about in my Reader.Jonathan Blackhallhttp://encephalosponge.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-7785980874127840142009-07-14T15:52:10.356-04:002009-07-14T15:52:10.356-04:00In my job as a CIO, I&#39;ve been working on tackl...In my job as a CIO, I&#39;ve been working on tackling information overload with mixed results. My company, a professional services firm, suffers more than most because of a couple of infrastructure problems that arose from a couple of mergers. <br /><br />I&#39;ve been trying to get my colleagues to acknowledge that attacking our information overload problem will improve our overall knowledge sharing collaboration efforts and also contribute to our bottom line. But some people here just don&#39;t understand the extent of the problem.<br /><br />I just read about information overload awarenesss day and I&#39;ve signed up our company as a participant and designated site - I hope this will get my point across to my colleagues and help them understand what we can do to improve our overall position relative to information overload. For others in my position (and I&#39;m sure there are many of you) I encourage you to do the same, Information is available at www.informationoverloadday.comCharlie Curtisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-76615440529936882882009-04-22T08:54:00.000-04:002009-04-22T08:54:00.000-04:00Inverse Search Engine InverSearch Helps Reduce Inf...Inverse Search Engine InverSearch Helps Reduce Information Overload. http://inversearch.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-59377134543113245412009-04-13T23:18:00.000-04:002009-04-13T23:18:00.000-04:00Thanks for your answers back 3/25.

There is no direct G Bookmark link from G Reader.<BR/><BR/>Now when we move on to your next section on Twitter I fundamentally get lost on how to get the Reader feeds into Twitter. <BR/><BR/>Copy the title and URL from G Reader or the web page you are viewing, then paste in Twitter.<BR/><BR/>(Question 4) So I guess am I hung up on Step 2 of your flow, and wondering is that automated in the process you describe, or are you cutting and pasting between Reader and Tweetdeck?<BR/><BR/>Cutting and pasting.

Aggregating countless amounts of streams can pose as a huge problem when trying to find the important information. One can, as you mentioned, 'drown' in this pool of content, without detecting the critical items.<BR/>Beyond aggregation - there is the realm of prioritization. A new technology, my6sense, uses AI to rank content according to your preferences from ALL of your personal streams (RSS feeds, social networks, etc.). It does this without having you set preferences or give any explicit feedback, so you there's no effort involved on your part. The result: separating the signal from the noise and delivering what's most important to you, on your desktop and mobile. And since the system dynamically learns your preferences based on your consumption habits - the more you use it, the smarter it gets and brings you more relevant content.<BR/>This is whats called 'Digital Intuition' - a sharper and better way to experience your information.<BR/>For more go to: www.my6sense.comMiss Irrelevanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15043361282371644311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-83666516225843445842009-03-16T08:52:00.000-04:002009-03-16T08:52:00.000-04:00Thank you for sharing your process!
